Christmas Tree!
Even though we travelled for the holidays, we still managed to set up our own Christmas tree (hooray for local cut-your-own farms!). After last year's mega-needles of death tree, we were pleased to find one this year that didn't draw blood and held it's needles like a champ!

Apple blossom!
Our road is a staging area for the Apple Blossom Festival Parade! Motorcycles, firetrucks and horses line up on our street. It's a fun way to spend an afternoon before they head off to be in the parade.
Closest to our house are the Harleys - probably a good thing, since Shasta has a definite objection to the ponies.
Some of the motorcycles are a bit more tricked out.
That's a helicopter on our street!
Getting ready to go...
A much more dignified way of travel (if slower) below... Shasta REALLY didn't like the horses!

Life recently
We definitely have become lazy about updating this blog. We'll get better about it, we promise. Really.
Things we've been up to lately:
I graduated! Yay!
Christmas in South Salem- it was lovely! And Gemmy does love her Christmas trees.
Christmas in Cobleskill, where we had the rare opportunity to carve a green Christmas pumpkin.
New Year's Eve in Ithaca, where we got to see the Sim Redmond Band! Which was great, as always.
We built a little shed, which involved screwing about 5 million screws and bolts and nuts in arctic temperatures, and is just big enough to fit Jim's chair, and our camping equipment (and Jim, when he misses his chair).
Enjoyed some wonderful sparkling wine mailed from upstate New York :-)
And we're now eagerly awaiting spring. Apparently it comes earlier here. And it's been in the 40's all week, so I guess I believe it?
What has everyone else been up to?

Thanksgiving in Vienna!
I'm living in Vienna with my labmate Arunima from PSU also - she's here working on a different project. We're sharing an apartment that belongs to one of the postdocs in the lab who's out of town. Jim, Arunima and I decided to introduce our lab here in Vienna to the wonders of Thanksgiving last week! Here are some pics...
Oh food - fried chicken, stuffing, carrots and parsnips, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, and pumpkin and apple pies... and our guests brought salads and bread and cheese...

More feasting... Sigrid, Jim and Renate
Laura and Sigrid...
I think Thanksgiving now has more fans :-)
